LGRIG® Stainless Thimbles — Shield the Eye, Extend the Life.

From light-duty static installations to heavy-duty lifting and rigging operations, QINGDAO LG RIGGING CO.,LTD delivers the LGRIG® range of stainless steel thimbles — engineered to protect wire rope eyes from crushing, abrasion, and deformation in the most demanding marine and industrial environments.

Our comprehensive lineup covers every application: light-duty thimbles for static applications such as permanent installations and conventional fibre rope assemblies, with popular types including American G411 and DIN 6899A; heavy-duty thimbles for lifting, rigging, and applications requiring frequent connection or disconnection; and tube thimbles that protect your line from twisting and fraying at the ends.

Available in AISI 304 for general corrosion resistance or marine grade AISI 316 for superior protection against saltwater and harsh outdoor conditions, in a full range of sizes with inside diameters matching our plated and galvanized thimbles.

Whether you are terminating wire rope slings, reinforcing lifting eyes, or protecting cable assemblies in marine, architectural, or industrial projects, LGRIG® stainless steel thimbles deliver the corrosion resistance, durability, and reliability that rigging professionals trust — in every eye, on every lift.

How To Use Stainless Steel Thimble?

The first thing to do is to make sure that the thimble is the correct size, as we want to ensure that the thimble will hold the rope eye securely, so how do you determine the size of the thimble you are going to use? For example, if you are using a 3/8 inch uncoated wire rope then you will need a 3/8 inch rope thimble, but if you are using a PVC coated rope then you cannot simply choose a thimble based on the diameter of the rope, but you need to add the thickness of the outer PVC coating. For example, if you are using a 3/8 inch PVC coated rope and the PVC coated rope is 7/16 inch in diameter, then choose a 7/16 inch rope thimble.

Once you have determined the size of the rope thimble, it is important to understand how to install the thimble.

Firstly

Wrap one end of the rope around the groove of the thimble and secure the rope with a rope clip.

Attach the other wire rope clip to the wire rope near the thimble eye and use a tool to firmly turn the nut to achieve the right torque to hold the thimble eye firmly in place, or you can use a wire rope collar to hold the thimble eye in place.

Last

If you are using 3 or more clamps, place them evenly in the same direction with at least 6 times the diameter of the wire rope between each clamp; then tighten all the nuts.

What is Stainless Steel Thimble?

Stainless Steel Wire Rope Thimble is used to protect the wire rope, in conjunction with wire rope clips, clamps or clips as reinforcement rings (lifting eyes), to protect and extend the life of the wire rope slings by preventing the rope from fraying due to friction, and also to provide structure for the lifting eyes to prevent them from deforming or knotting.

Generally available in both light and heavy-duty versions, light-duty is usually used for static applications such as permanent installations or applications that do not experience loads. Light load wire rope thimbles are generally best used with conventional fibre ropes as they can withstand the same loads as fibre ropes. For example, the American type G411, DIN 6899A is the more common light-duty type. Heavy-duty wire rope thimbles are typically used for applications that will experience loads and are ideal for lifting, rigging and applications that require frequent connection or disconnection of thimbles from other rigging equipment.
